I'll give you weak, but the weakest? You really think Live Free and Die Harder is better?

Yes. Standing on the wing of plane and all. I think this one is the weakest because it misunderstands the DH formula, and the central character. Second weakest is LFDH because it is ridiculously over the top, but it's a much more focused movie. DH2 has too many characters, doing too many different things.

For me it goes:

Die Hard
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Live Free or Die Hard
Die Harder

See, I gotta swap the first two and the last two. The only thing I remotely liked about LFDH was that I know for a fact that Kevin Smith rewrote all his own lines, and that Justin Long suffered.

Yup, trying too hard sounds right. And I kinda think it lacks the joy? fun? that's in all the other DH movies.

It's not a bad movie at all but compared to the utter awesome of the first, ow.

Ah, I clearly have no deep thoughts today. :)

It was hard for me to come up with deep thoughts about this one, besides "NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE."

Not to mention "NOT AS GOOD AS THE THIRD ONE." :)

I think some of the deaths in the movie are pretty neat. Death by icicle and being minced in an airplane engine in particular.
